We're here. So are you.
This is a community. Talk to us.
Questions, partnership interest, press, or just a conversation — reach out. BDH does not have a front desk. We have people.
Who we are
Empowering Black designers for a more inclusive future in design.
Founded in Houston in 2021, Black Design Houston builds community infrastructure for Black creatives — events, mentorship, critical conversation, and the organizational scaffolding to sustain it all.
We are grounded in Dr. David McMillan's Sense of Community theory. Membership. Influence. Integration of needs. Shared emotional connection. These aren't abstract values — they are the architecture of everything we build.
Get in touch.
Whether you're a designer looking to get involved, an organization interested in partnership, or a funder wanting to support Black design in Houston — we want to hear from you.
